It was not an actual restore job, only a clean up and WalMart spray paint to ward off rust, and to make it easier on the eyes, took about a day. This example showed that these machines can take alot of abuse and neglect in 30 years of grass cutting. I put it right to work its not ready to retire, I expect it will still be cutting grass 30 years from now and someone will paint it again as a reward for good service at that time.
